The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards are a week away still, but the 77th Creative Arts Emmy Awards are officially underway, and stars like The Studio’s Bryan Cranston and Hacks’ Julianne Nicholson have already taken home gold.

Those actors and Severance’s Merritt Wever and The Pitt’s Shawn Hatosy won Emmys for their guest performances on Night 1 of the 2025 Creative Arts Emmys on Saturday, September 6, while dozens of Hollywood creatives took home prizes for their craftsmanship in front of and behind the camera.
